Massive Attack signed with Play It Again Sam, part of the [PIAS] Label Group. The partnership kicked off on Thursday (April 16) with the release of the band’s new single, “Boots on the Ground” featuring Tom Waits, accompanied by an original film directed by the band in collaboration with photo artist thefinaleye. The song is the first release from the trip-hop pioneers since their 2020 EP, Eutopia.

“We’re honoured to welcome Massive Attack to Play It Again Sam,” said Kenny Gates, executive chairman of [PIAS], in a statement on the deal. “They are a band I’ve admired for decades, not just for their groundbreaking music but for their uncompromising creativity and cultural impact. To be working with them is genuinely exciting for all of us at [PIAS], and this partnership feels like the start of a very exciting journey.”

Russell Crank, director of A&R at Play It Again Sam, added, “In a time like this, standing behind the vital voice of Massive Attack is a privilege. We’re fully committed to Rob, Grant and the important art they continue to make, and the remarkable work they’re about to share this year.”

“This track is arriving in an atmosphere of chaos,” said Massive Attack in its own statement. “Across the western hemisphere, state authoritarianism and the militarisation of police forces are fusing again with neo-fascist politics. Seen within the American emergency, at home and overseas, this track contains pulses of callous impulse & abandoned mind.” — Chris Eggertsen
